How to access shares with firewall enabled
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and I have the Microsoft Firewall enabled.
When the firewall is enabled, I can't access any of the shares which are setup. If I disable the firewall, I can access the shares on other computers as well as on my Samsung TV over DLNA. I'm just wondering, is there a way to keep the firewall enabled and also still be able to access the shares and if so, how? Thank you |

if you check the radio button "Turn on printer and file sharing" in Advanced sharing settings you should be able to access your shares with an enabled firewall.
